Valid Strikes
Valid Strikes, also known as Legal Strikes, must make contact with enough forward momentum that an unaware opponent wearing basic, non-bulky, garb could distinguish the strike as offensive rather than incidental contact. Players wearing thick or bulky armor/garments must acknowledge a valid strike against them even if the blow is not felt.
Valid Strikes are divided into four categories:
- Melee Slash: A slash is a strike with the side of a weapon. It must be percussive (contact with an audible impact) and stop on or deflect off the victim.
- Melee Stab: A stab is a strike with the tip of a weapon. It must strike with the tip and be stopped by or deflect/glance off the victim.
- Projectile Stab ( Arrows/ Javelins): A stab from a projectile weapon. The projectile must have traveled its own length through the air after being released, strike with the tip, and be stopped by or deflect/glance off the victim.
- Projectile Contact (Thrown Weapons| Thrown Weapons, Rocks, Spellballs): Contact Projectiles can strike with any part of their surface as long as it has traveled its own length through the air after being released and stops on or deflects/glances off the victim.
Illegal Obstructions: A strike that is prevented from making valid contact due to an Illegal Obstruction, such as loose garb, thick hair, bulky armor, or unwielded equipment, will count as a valid strike against whatever would have been hit if the obstruction was not there.
